Yes, it is a manual transmission (5 speed) and it is a 4X2.
Thank you, sch911 for the copy of the manual excerpt for the towing of the 04 Ranger.
Also, thank you; dicknellen and mandalay parr for taking the time to contribute as well.
I will be going back to work for my 8th season as a National Park Ranger in a western National Park. I full time and use a motorcycle for a get around vehicle. Last season I realized the with the snow, ice, rain of spring and fall weather, including freezing cold mornings, I would bring a truck with me for this season. Plus I can ferry my motorcycles and kayaks around easier, as well. So I recently purchased a Ford Ranger PU to meet those needs 4 months of the year.
Thanks!
